Leo Messi: 'I wouldn’t leave FC Barcelona for money. I would go if the club didn’t want me anymore because my performances got worse, not for any another reason. Physically I feel good, thank God. I’m ready to play in every game, like I did last year. I just hope to continue like this'

Leo Messi: 'I'm not aiming to break Cesar's 235 record this year, I hope to do it someday seeing that I want to stay here for the rest of my career'

- Wise words from a very sensible, humble footballer. As I always say, you don't just have to be good at your job, you also have to look it. Messi is the perfect ambassador for FC Barcelona, Argentina and himself.

The bottom line is Leo Messi could leave Barça tomorrow and get paid much more money elsewhere. Manchester City, Chelsea or even Real Madrid would sell their souls to the devil to sign La Pulga Blaugrana. Leo would be an idol wherever he went and his bank account would get as fat as an opera singer's ass.

But The Argentinian Little Giant doesn't even consider a move. He loves Barcelona and knows there isn't a better team for him to achieve his dreams. Cules can be proud to have a player of such stature committing long-term, publicly, for no apparent reason. Long gone are the days when our stars moved on (Maradona, Ronaldo, Rivaldo...)
